MASTER PLAN
FOR DELHI
I N T R O D U C T I O NTo check the haphazard and unplanned growth of Delhi, following the partition of the country and the phenomenal growth of the city's population, with its sprawling residential colonies, without proper layouts and without the conveniences of Efe and to guide the growth of the city, the Central ~overnment'in November, 1955 set up the Delhi Development (Provisional) Authority. In December, 1955, the Town Planning Organisation
was set up by the Government of India, Ministry of Health, and was placed under the administrative control of the Chairman, Delhi Improvement Trust to advise the Authority on all matters relating to planning in the National Capital,
2. The Town Planning Organisation, in September, 1956, produced the Interim General Plan, which was intended to provide an outline for planned development during a period of two to three years, i.e. until a comprehensive long range plan
was prepared.
3. On the 30th December, 1957, the Delhi Development Authority-an 1 1-member body with the Administrator of the Union Territory of Delhi as the ex-oficio chairman, was consti- tuted by an Act of Parliament, called the Delhi Development Act, 1957, to promote and secure the development of Delhi according to plan. The Act required the Authority to carry out a civic survey of, and prepare a Master Plan, for Delhi.
Accordingly, the Authority, with the help of the Town Planning organiscation, and after having had such surveys con-
ducted as were necessary, drew up a draft Master Plan, consistiug of numerous maps and plans embodying the studies and proposals and an explanatory text, for an estimated population of about fifty lakhs in 1981, and after seeking the advice of the Advisory Council of the Authority, released it to the public on the 8th July, 1960, for the purpose of inviting objections and suggestions. An outline of the draft plan, in three languages, namely, English, Hindi and IJrdu, explaining the broad features of the plan. for the benefit of the public, was also prepared. A period of three
months was allowed for filing objections etc., and during this period, adequate publicity was given to the draft plan by dis- playing the maps and charts to the Press, Members of Parlia- ment and to the general public.
4. Nearly 600 objections and suggestions were received from the public, co-operative house-building societies, associations of industrialists, local bodies, Delhi Administration and various Ministries and Departments of the Government of India. The Authority appointed an ad-hoc Board consisting of Kumari Shanta Vashist, M.P., Shri C. K. Nair, M.P., the Commissioner. Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Sarvshri Sikandar Lal.
Councillor, Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Balbir Sin&
Saigal, Engineer-Member and this Board co-opted Shri Brij Kishan Chandiwala and Dr. R. K. Bhardwaj, Members of the Advisory Council of the Authority, to go into these objections. The Board granted a personal hearing to all objectors etc. and
also carried out local inspections and madk its report to the Authority on the 17th March, 1961.
5. The Authority obtained the advice of the Advisory Delhi and in Civil Lines. An integral part of the plan is the Council on this report and examined all the proposals in great "Sub-division Regulations" which, by laying down standards for detail in the course of several meetings. As a result of this streets and community facilities, will guide new development scrutiny some of the proposals have been modified and some and the "Zoning Regulations" which indicate the land use per- new ones incorporated. missible in the various zones and the density. coverage, floor
area ratio and set-backs for various types of development. They 6. Given below are a few of the important re~ommendations also define the period by which incompatible land uses like made in the Master Plan. obnoxious industries are to be relocated.
I t was felt that the redevelopment of the Old City by way of large scale clearance and reconstruction was not immediately practicable, and it has, therefore, been suggested that after assess- ing the requirements of schools, dispensaries, parks etc., sites of dilapidated houses or of those demolished by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi might be acquired at suitable places for the location of the community facilities. Similarly, as it was not practicable to widen all the roads in the Old City, only the major roads should be widened in the first stage to the minimum extent considered necessary. It has been proposed that the Mata Sundari area should be partly reserved for housing the evictees from the Delhi Ajmere Gate Extension Scheme and also to take the overspill of population from the Old City. To meet the problem of settlement of low income group people- about 70,000 in number, who migrate to Delhi from rural areas every year, the Authority has proposed to earmark suitable sites
in several zones where these very low income group people may be able .to put up cheap houses but the layouts would have to be according to standards. The squatters in bustis are to be re- located in various parts of the urban area so that they are integrated into the neighbourhood community. It is of the utmost importance that physical plans should avoid stratification on income or occupation basis. The residential density patterns have been functi'onally related to the work centres, recreation areas and community facilities. Hence, a more rational distribu- tion of densities is proposed by a gradual thinning of the density in the Old City and by increasing the density in New
To meet the increasing need of commercial space in central areas, it is recommended that the Connaught Place commercial area be extended upto Keeling Road and the proposed over- bridge over the railway. It is also proposed to have 15 district shopping centres to decentralise commercial activity and to
make each Division of the City self-contained. New sites for location of Government offices have also been proposed in the various Planning Divisions into which the City has been divided. Several new areas are proposed for industrial development and the total area of the land earmarked for this purpose is about
5800 acres. This would include flatted factories, which are multi-storeyed structures located near residential areas, for the use of small-scale non-nuisance industries.
In addition to Subzimandi, two wholesale fruit and vegetable markets have been recommended, one near the Okhla Railway Station and the other near the Daya Basti Railway Station near Sarai Rohilla. Godowns for the' storage of foodgrains will be located in areas marked for the purpose, and only the offices of whole salers and retail foodgrain shops would be allowed in the two congested areas of Naya Bazar and
G.B.
Road. Similar- ly, godowns for timber will be located in ware-housing areas and the presently congested areas of Teliwara and Deshbandhu Gupta Road will deal only in retail timber trade. A 15 acre site on the Mehrauli Road near the intersection of this road with the railway line has been proposed for a general market. Additional land for oil storage depots, which are at present located onRohtak Road, and will continue there, has been earmarked near Nangloi Railway Station and also near Palam Railway Station, and in Shahdara.
A
university centre in the south near the junction of Kitchner Road and Ring Road has been proposed. Twenty-two new colleges, each covering an area of about 15 acres and 5 additional university centres of about 30 to 40 acres each to serve a group of 4 or 5 colleges, have been earmarked in the Plan. Twenty additional 500-bed hospitals each 15 to 25 acres have also been proposed. An area of about 600 acres has been reserved south-west of the new engineering college, for a new university and for social and cultural institutions. A 45 acre site in the neighbourhood of Siri village area has been earmarked for an all-India cultural centre. This is in addition to the areas earmarked on the Central Vista east of Janpath, near Sapru House and in the proposed Civic,Centre which will serve as social and cultural institutions for Delhi. District parks for recreation, local open spaces for play-grounds and community centres and local shopping areas to serve each neighbourhood have been recommended in the plan.In view of tne large scale development proposed for Shahdara, which is expected to have a population of about
74
lakhs in 1981, the plan provides a large commercial area and four road bridges in addition to the existing road-cum-railway bridge. Two more major road links between Old Delhi and New Delhi have been recommended as over passes over the railway line--one connecting Circular Road to Parliament Street and the other connecting Mathura Road to College Road and Ferozeshah Road. An Inner Ring Road and a Ring Railway have been recommended to avoid traffic congestion and facilitate quick flow of traffic in the urban core in addition to the Ring Road which has already been' constructed. Reservations for new railway stations on the Ring Railway, expansion of the existing railway stations, widening of major arterial roads, improvement
of road intersections and grade separations, arterial cycle tracks separate from the carriageway are some of the recommendations to make a good traffic circulation system. Bus stations are propos- ed to be located in different parts of the city.
The
central bus station which is at present located at the Delhi Main Railway Station would be shifted to a 10 acre site near Kashmeri Oate.An idle parking area of about 20 acres is earmarked east of
Bela Road and north of the sanitary drain, for inter-state buses and trucks. Parking and servicing stations are proposed to be located near Id Gah on Id Gah Road and in Shahdara
with
several idle parking and servicing areas for trucks.
The plan recommends an inviolable green belt approximately one mile in depth around the 1981 urbanisable limits and has proposed the setting up of "urban villages" to strengthen the rural economy.
The plan has also assessed the needs of the Capital in power, water supply and sewerage and has made provisions for location of water works, power houses and sewage treatment plants.
7. The Authority takes this opportunity of acknowledging the very valuable help rendered by the Town Planning Organi- sation which conducted comprehensive surveys to collect the factual data and also prepared a draft of the Master Plan for submission to the Authority. They assisted both the Screening Board and the Delhi Development Authority with their technical advice and have given a final shape to the plan in accordance with the decisions of the Authority.
The Authority also gratefully acknowledges the help and guidance received from the team of consultants made available by the Ford ~oundation in conducting the surveys, tabulation of data and in the preparation of the draft Master PIan.
'8. The thanks of the Authority are also due to the Govern- ment of India Press, particularly, Shri C. Biswas, Manager
Photo Litho Wing, for their help and ready co-operation
in
printing the various maps and the text of the Drdt Plan.
9. The Authority also gratefully acknowledges the contribu- tion made by the former chairman of the Authority Shri A. D.
Pandit.

CHAPTER I
THE LAND
USE
PLAN
1. LAND USE PLANS FOR DELHI METROPOLITAN AREA one giant urban mass with its long and senseless commuting to
The Delhi Metropolitan Area of about 800 sq. miles, which has been defined after careful study, comprises the Union Temtory of Delhi and the Ring Towns of Loni and Ghaziabad in U.P., Faridabad, Ballabhgarh, Bahadurgarh and Gurgaon in Punjab and Narela in Delhi territory. To achieve a rational growth of Delhi which has been expanding in a most haphazard way, it is necessary to plan this whole area as a composite unit and have an integrated and balanced overall programme of development. The metropolitan area has a good deal of homogeneity and physical, socio-economic and cultural unity. This factor makes planning less difficult in spite of political and administrative hurdles. The Ring Towns must be developed not only to deflect some of the population that would otherwise come into Delhi and jeopardize the p l a ~ e d growth of Delhi but also to help these towns to grow in a planned way. What is visualized is a compact orderly growth of urban Delhi, with six Ring Towns, self-contained in matters of work and residential places but with strong economic, social and cultural ties with the central city. This is the only way to pre- vent the increasing urban sprawl which is threatening to grow into
work, substandard services and lack of social cohesion.
The development of the ring towns can be ensured by streng- thening their economic base. This has to be done by planning industrial development and locating governmental offices in these towns. Besides these positive measures of development, there will also have to be the same degree of control of development as there would be in Delhi, so that uniform standards are obtained throughout the area
The proposals made in the work studies for the Ring Towns are summarised in Table No. 1 and the land requirements have
been indicated. In 1951 the total population of these six Ring
Towns was 1,25,000 and the projected population for 1981 is 8,42,000. The total requirement of 'land is 21,300 acres. The projected industrial employment for 1981 is 1,14,000 and the land requirement for industries is estimated at 4,430 acres. Simi- larly, the employment in government offices for 1981 is 50,000 for which 230 acres are required. However, the precise quantities will be determined by the State-Governments concerned when they work out detailed plans for the areas within their jurisdiction.

Ghaziabad is envisaged as an industrial
town
with50,000
Ballabgarh is only 3, miles from the new town of Faridabad. workers engaged in manufacturing out of a total population of Nearby is also the old town of Faridabad. All the three are inthe Punjab, and the Government of Punjab will have to draw up a master plan for this area. On either side of the Mathura Road which runs through the area, industries are spdnging up like mushrooms. A master plan to regulate and guide dwdop- ment is long overdue. The Town Planning Organisat,ion had drawn up a tentative plan for the area which can form a guide .for the Punjab to follow and prepare a master plan. 1t'is sugges- ted that Faridabad and Ballabgarh should have an integrated plan. Like Ghaziabad, Faridabad too will have a strong indus- trial base with about 43,000 workers engaged in manufacturing, out of a total population of 3,14,000 in 198 1. It is also recom- mended that enough government offices be established here for some 15,000 employees. The total land requirement will be about 7,900 acres while the allocation for manufacturing will be about 1,500 acres and for Government offices ab'but 60 acres. The town can be served by tube wells since it has good under-
ground water potential. Gnrgaon:
This District town in Punjab is handicapped for want of good water sources and only a modest grpwvth is contemplated. It is proposed to have 5,000 industrial workers out of a total population of 48,000 in 1981. A small industrial estate of 250 acres and another 20 acres to locate Government offices with 5,000 workers would suffice. The total area requircd for the township is 1,600 acres. No plan has been prepared for this town. The Punjab Government should undertake this work. Bahadurgarh:
This small town of just over 4,000 in U.P. is pro&sed to'be developed for a population of -23,000 in 1981. Water can made available from tube w$Hs. An industrial estate of 100 acres with 2,000 workers will provide. the economic base. The
U.P.
'Government has already published a master plan, which is .in general agreement with the proposals given here.
Narela:
The proposal to develop Narela as one of the Ring Towns around Delhi forms a part of the recommendations of the Master
' Plan for the Delhi Metropolitan Area. It is within the Union
Territory of Delhi, near the northern border.
i his
.township is proposed to 5e developed to absorb 60,000 people by 1981 in addition to its existing 11,000. The develop ment proposals provide for Government offices and industry to make the town a self-contained unit.The existing settlement of Narela lies about 18 miles north of Delhi-and is situated on the Delhi-Ambala Railway, off the Grand Trunk Road. It has good underground water potential.
Important Features:
Narela has the following important features:
1. It has an established wholesale mandi dealing in grains, sugar, chilli, jaggery, cotton and oil-seeds. This mandi requires remodelling to. cope with the business This town also has no source of good water supply: It is ex- activities of the growing town.

of about 1,000 acres. About 200 acres would be required for 2. It has a flourishing mauufacturing industry of Persian industrial employment for about 4,000 workers. For this town wheels and agricultural implements wn~ch find a too, the Punjab Government should prepare a master plan.

large oil crushing mills and the products thereof are sold all over India.4.
It has a medium-size vegetable and fruit market.Area and Population:
The Municipal town of Narela together with the adjacent village of Mamur Pur has an area of 3,372 acres approximately. The settled area of Narela town has an area of 83 acres. There
is also a refugee colony some four furlongs to the south of the main town which has been planned by the Ministry of Rehabii- tation. The Ministry has acquired an area of 40 acres for the
colony. The town extends from north to south to about 318 mile
and from easi to wet Zu a distance of about 1/2 mile. The existing town had a population of 9,597 persons according to the
1951 census. The present population is estimated to 'be more than 1 1,000 persons.
, . Proposals :
The proposed land use plan for Narela takes into considera- tion the topographi& features, existing road pattern, the built-up area and the existing land uses. The natural features of t& low lying belt have been used to form a recreational track through the neighbourhood pattern. The green space to the east of the exis-
ling settlement will accommodate active community recreation and the social activities of the town. High Schocls on the basis of one per 15,000 population have been allocated. Local shop- ping has been placed within easy access of each sector.
The industrial sector is proposed to be linked by a spur con- nection to the main railway line. The highway pattern has been planned to provide easy ingress and egress for the materials and products from the industrial area. Additional land has been reserved to allow for future expansion of industry. Sectors ad- joining industry will house the industrial workers.
The density pattern for the residentid areas would
meet
thevarying needs of the immigrant. population. The seven sectom
provide a gross residential density of 50 to 60 persons per acre.
The sector for Government offices is &xed
centrally
tore-
duce commutation to the minimum. A peripheral network
of
roads around this sector will permit free flow of trafiic.
Besides the wholesale business
in
the mandi, Narela will havea central business district where all the c o d t i e s could be purchased.

2. LAND USE PLAN
FOR URBAN
DELHI. Characteristics of the Plan:While the portion of the Master Plan relating to the Metro- politan area will ensure the success of the urban plan by positive development in the Ring Towns and regulatory measures in the intermediate areas, the Land Use Plan for urban Delhi has been conceived to find solutions for the entire complex of inter-related urban problems viz. social. economic and governmental. It may rightly be called a comprehensive plan. Since it aims at balanced and integrated development to take care of present and future growth upto 1981, it is alsb a long range plan. It has been kept in scale with the economic needs of its citizens and the financial resources of the nation whose capital it is. By means of public hearings and participation of the people in the making of the plan, it has been drawn up in keeping with community sentiments. It gives an integrated picture of the future city by combining the future land use pattern with a long range programme of com- munity facilities and services, having kept in view the objective of making these functionally related, economically
.
sound and socially desirable.The Land Use Plan is general. But by the nature of the legislation under which it has been prepared it carries legal sanc- tion and has a certain amount of rigidity, though it can be amended according to law from time to time. There is provision to revise the plan when considered necessary after publication and public hearing. The Zoning Regulations are also embodied in the plan. These should be strictly enforced in regard to each kind of development and the proposals in this report are subject to these stipulations. Space standards for community facilities and services stipulated in the Master Plan will govern zonal and sub-dt*ision plans. Since the land requirement for the next ten years or so has been notified for acquisition by the Delhi Adminis- tration, all future land use can be regulated by the Master Plan
and land sub-division'controlled by zonal development plans.
Present Reality Basis of plan':
The Land Use Plan, is in essence, the translation into physical
form of the planning policies and principles. The policies
have
been based on the realities of the present dynamic but rather unregulated and chaotic conditions obtaining in the Metropolis.
To sum up the present situation, haphazard and sub-standard development in the metropolitan area is going on at a rapid rate, especially on the highways leading to the capital and to a lesser extent in the Ring Towns. In Delhi, itself, there is great disparity in residential density in the various areas (ranging from 1,000 persons to as low as 15 to the acre) with social, economic and physical barriers between Old and New Delhi. The city has grown rapidly to the south and west making it functionally un- balanced. This has stretched the lines of communication and also made the provision of municipal services and other facilities, which are so essential for urban living, difficult. There is an acute shortage of housing resulting in extreme overcrowding, conges- tion and insanitary conditions. This is particularly bad in the Old City where there is almost an absence of community facilities and only sub-standard services are available. There are an estimated 50,000 dwelling units in bustis scattered all over the city. Even the new rehabilitation colonies are fast deteriorating. There is concentration cif government employment centres and shopping areas which has resulted in traffic bottlenecks. At present housing is not related to employment centres and people have to travel long distances to their places of work. The position is aggravated by the absence of an adequate and cheap transporta- tion system. Industry is dotted all over the crowded O F City where it is a source of nuisance. There are ilso large, noxious industries like the slaughter house, and fire hazard trfles, like the timber depots, in congested residential areas. There is an undesirable mixing of land uses almost everywhere in the city; residential with shopping and industry; wholesale with retail; business witb service industry. Delhi, as a whole, is acutely defi-
cient in parks, schools, other community facilities and municipal services.
(a) Major Polity Decisions:
One of the. major policy decisions, viz. of considering urban Delhi as the core of the larger Metropolitan complex has been stated and the necessity of planning and developing the Ring Towns with a sound industrial base and employment in Govern- ment offices, with regulatory measures in the intermediate rural areas, has been explained.
The other major policies are stated here. Delhi will conti- nue to be a major government centre. The present central secre-. tariat complex has little room for expansion. Therefore, new.
sites of adequate size within Urban Delhi must be found to locate the Government offices which have to be essentially in Delhi in order to be in close touch with the ministries. Adequate housing must be made available related to these offices within reasonable distances.
It would be undesirable to increase the proportion of Govern- ment employment in the occupational structure of the city. What is required is a balanced economic base for which purpose it would be necessary to encourage the development of permissible industries. It would, however, be unwise to locate large and heavy industries in Delhi, which would, besides posing problems of air pollution, waste disposal, traffic congestion etc., also give an industrial bias to the city- which would be undesirable in a national capital. Moreover, Delhi does not have enough water
supply and power to sustain large scale industries.
Because of its location, Delhi will continue to be a major financial, business, commercial and distribution centre and with the growth of population there would be a proportionate increase
in the people employed in trade and commerce which would provide the necessary diversity to the economy. The land
requirements for this increasing growth must be provided for
in the plan.
There is heavy concentration of population in the Old City which is also closely built up. Since large scale clearance and reconstruction is ruled out as an immediate possibility because of the lack of resources and the low capacity of the people to pay
' rent, at least the minimum community facilities and services and
reasonable means of communication will have to Iae provided here, which will in a way remove congestion from the area. Em- ployment centres like flatted (multi-storeyed) factories will be set up in selected areas to house such small industries as will not cause nuisance to the residential areas, but noxious industries and village like occupations like dairies, potteries etc. will have to be removed from here. Certain areas like the Mata Sundari area which is near the Old City will have to be partly reserved for housing the population from the redevelopment projects to decongest the Old City. Similarly, the very low density areas of New Delhi like Gole Market areas, York Place area etc. must be replanned at higher density to make more intensive use of valu- able land in the core of the city. Due care must be taken to pre- serve the most pleasant and unique residential character of these areas.
To meet the large deficit in housing, a programme of deve- lopmed has to be launched in a big way. The present busti dwellers will be provided for in tenements. There will be an in- creasing number of houses built for goverrlment employees and developed land will be made available for both low income and higher income people. To counteract against squatting in bus- tis, it is proposed to earmark reasonable areas in several zones for the low income group people who migrate to Delhi through- out the year from rural areas. Considering their economic con- dition, they should be permitted to construct very cheap houses on a proper layout with all the necessary reservations of sites, and the minimum of municipal services provided by public agencies.
Planned growth in the past has been very much hampered
by lack of developed land and speculation in land. The stock
'
of land built up by Government when New Delhi was planned proved to be a great stand-by, particularly in settling the large number of displaced people. Very little of that is left now. As a result the prices of developed land have soared up in recent years and the low and middle income groups have resorted to un- authorized house construction in the absence of developed land within their means. Recognising this and also as a matter of major policy, the Government of India has notified for acquisition about 35,000 acres of land all around the present built up area, which will be sufficient for the growth of Delhi according to plan for the next 10 years or so. Steps are also being taken to deve- lop land for industry, Commerce, residential' uses and commu- nity facilities. All this land will remain under public ownership and developed plots or undeveloped land will be leased out to in- dividuals and co-operative societies on an equitable basis, so that the benefit of planned growth accrues to the common man and the Government can also have a share of the future rise In the price of such land. The ownership of land by Government makes planning and the implementation of plans easier and is impera- tive if slum clearance, redevelopment and subsidised housing and provision of community facilities according to accepted standards have to be undertaken, as, indeed, they must be in Delhi, in a determined way.
These are the planning policies on which the Plan is based. These decisions have been arrived at by the planning authority
as a result of the physical and socioeconomic studies conducted in preparing the plan. In translating these broad policies into physical form, certain desirable planning principles have been adopted, which would be workable in the Delhi situation. Apply- ing certain space standards for allocation to the various land uses, a land use pattern was evolved, which is a synthesis of the plan-
ning principles,
to
arrive ata
comprehensive plan best suited for present needs and the future growth of the capital.(b) P l d i Synthesis:
O'ne of the major principles is that in order to secure balanced development and minimize frictions, decentralization of places of employment and their right relationship with residential areas is necessary.
With this objective, the city has been divided into eight plan- ning divisions which are self-contained in the matter of employ- ment, residential places, recreational areas, shopping and other requirements. These are functional units reflecting #their own pattern of development and land use, having certain individual physical characteristics, and social and cultural values. While the Old City is at present a chaatic mix up of incompatible land uses, New Delhi is lacking in compactness and social cohesion. The plan has allocated land for industry, commerce, living, play and other major types of urban land use in the most appropriate location for each use and inter-related to each other so as to produce orderliness and smooth functioning.
A city is a living organism. T o create conditions conducive to healthy social living, the heirarchy of city structure is built from the bottom upwards. The housing cluster is built round the nur- sery school and the tot-lot. The primary school, the. high school, the Community centre and the .District centre are the order of the functional tiers around which the community structure is built up. The Central Business District, major educational, recrea- tional, cultural and civic centres, will provide the integrating and unifying common interests: Only
in
a healthy environment life for the common man can'become varied, rich and satisfying in the future Metropolis.While guiding deveIopment in new areas along desirable lines those areas that already have a healthy, organic pattern must be
conserved by protecting them from encroachment of undesirable and conflicting land uses. There are certain other areas which must be rehabilitated by improved enviro~lental hygiene and by reconstructing certain deteriorated pockets which will open up areas for providing open spaces and community facilities. Demolition of unusable buildings and making a new and im- proved layout may be resorted to in the redevelopment areas. The identification of the areas as "conservation", "rehabilita- tion" and "redevelopment", is to be done as a result of physical and socic+economic surveys. These steps are necessary to pre- serve and enlarge the total capacity of existing housing. Concen- trating on new housing without taking these steps to improve the existing ones and protecting new developments, is like missing the wood for the trees.
Residential 'densities in the heart of the city have to be rationalized by eliminating disparities. In developing areas the layout pattern should be efficient to provide for adequate internal
, circulation and municipal services. Through-traffic should not
be permitted to penetrate into residential areas. Adequate areas must be earmarked within close proximity for community faci- lities like schools, parks, playgrounds, health centres, shopping and other services. The residential areas should be protected from the invasion of non-residential uses and should be free from smoke, noise, odour and other nuisances.
The new sites to house Government offices are so located that &hey have adequate housing nearby, directly accessible from the major traffic arteries, and must be well served by the public transport system.
To secure further decentralization of employment, planned industrial districts are located in right relationship with resi- dential areas. These industries are provided with enough water and power and well served with means of wmmunication like major highways and railroads for efficient movement of goods and workers. Just as residential areas are protected from the
harmful effects of industries, they, in their tum, should be free
from non-industrial and other codlicting land uses and should have enough space for future expansion. The industrial areas should have high design and desirable performance standards.
The existing Central Business Districts of Connaught Place and Chandni Chowk-Khan BaoliPadar Bazar must be made more functional with adequate off-street parking and loading and unloading facilities and by traffic regulations. To avoid a ribbon pattern of wmmercial development and to serve the large increasing population, several district shopping centres have been proposed so as to be within easy reach of each district. These have composite retail and commercial areas with service industries, flatted factories and Government offices to provide employment centres. As already stated, there would be other shopping at lower levels to cater for the day to day needs of the people.
Self-contained divisions and decentralization of employment centres are necessary if traffic is not to increase to such an extent at the urban core that in the years to come, it would completely paralyse city life necessitating large investment on costly new transportation lines. Thus, the more rational and functional land use pattern proposed, together with a coordinated approach to the traffic problem will result in an improvement of the circu- lation system. off-stkt parking and terminal facilities, grade separation at rail level crossings, improvements of intersections and enlargement of railway stations, widening some of the existing roads, express cycle tracks and a system of highways linking up Delhi more effectively with the metropolitan area and the region are necessary to handle the increasing traffic.
A syrtem of linked open spaces and district parks has been worked out for the entire urban area of Delhi related to the proposed pattern of residential densities. These district parks are for the higher secondary school age group and for adults.
be within
walking
distana. Places of historical interest, natural beauty spots, existing orchard and fruit gardens have to be developed and interconnected by green linkages and smaller local parks penetrating through residential and work areas.' Certain natural features like the river front a d the ridge will have to be developed, together with other regional parks to provide active recreation to the people of the whole area.Similarly, other community facilities like schools, colleges, hospitals etc. should be provided and rationally distributed in the urban area according to the proposed pattern of residential densities.
It is essential to provide an inviolable green belt of agricultural land around the urbanizable land of 1981 to limit the physical growth and to prevent the overspilling of Delhi and its merging with the nearby cities to form one huge conurbation. This will also preserve land under intensive apriculture, unspoilt by undesirable or premature urban growth.
Harmonious srowth and orderly functioning are the first steps in evolving an attractive city. But what will stamp it as a beautiful city is its pleasing architecture. This should not be confined to monumental civic and cultural centres but should pervade the design of all public and private buildings. Modem industrial building in attractively landscaped grounds, pleasing shopping centres. simple and beautifully designed schools and homes and well laid parks can go a long way to raise the city above the humdrum of brick and mortar put together. Well- designed and clean streets and street furniture, with minimum of poles, wires and signs will add to the general sense of attrac- tiveness and spaciousness. If these things are kept in mind, then the appearance of Delhi, as the plan propesses, may well symbolize the life and aspiration of the people who will live there in the coming decades.
PROPOSED WORK CENTRES.
The principle of decentralization of work centres and its location in functional relationship with housing has been kept in mind in making the'land Use Plan. The allocation of land for the employment centres has been made on the basis of the percentage of the working force that would be in the variolis occupational groups in the projected population of 1981, and the standards for providing working space, parking etc. for the people engaged in industry, commerce, government offices etc.
It is estimated that there would be 2,62,500 persons working in government offices by 1981 in Urban Delhi, and about 50,000 in the Ring Towns of the Delhi Metropolitan Area. The estimated requirement for land for the latter has been indicated earlier in the chapter. In Urban Delhi at present the Central Secretariat Complex and Parliament Street is the main centre of Government Offices. Indraprastha Estate on Mathura Road and Old Secretariat in Civil Lines are subsidiary centres. Many other Government offices are located mostly in barracks on Shahjahan Road and other scattered areas. The total area under this use in 1981 will be 912 acres, including 60 acres in District Centres.
Unit Space Standards.
The standard for the development of Government offices* has been worked out on a floor area ratio of 150 i.e., for every 100 sq. ft. of land, 150 sq. ft. of floor space will be available. At.present most new Government offices are 6 storeys high. The maximum coverage should be 20% including 5% of covered parking. Another 5% of additional coverage may be allowed *The F.A.R. is 200 for the Central Secretariat Complex and maximum coverage 30 0/, includin p 5 % covered parking.
if the total space for covered parking is kept at 10% of the plot area. Out of the remaining 75% of land area, about 50%
will
be utilized for off-street parking, leaving the rest ofthe 50% to be devoted to land-scaping, lawns and the neoessary
set backs from the roads and the adjoining lot lines.
The ,standard of 50 sq. ft. of carpet area per person followed
by the Central Public Works Department has been adopted.
Carpet area includes wnference room and canteen etc. In most
Government office buildings, the carpet area is half of.the total floor area since efficiency is only 50 per cent, the other 50 per cent being in comdors, bathrooms, stores etc. Hence the gross floor area per person is 100 sq. ft. This means that in one acre of land, with a floor area ratio of 150 and at 100 sq.
ft. of floor space per,. person, about 650 persons can be
accommodated. But as discussed in the chapter on Govern- ment in the work studies there is likelihood of higher standards of space utilization when work becomes more mechanized and
productivity of government employees increases. This may be
only partially offset by more e a i e n t building design. Consider- ing these factors, it is proposed that the employment density be
assumed at 450 to 300 persons per acre depending on central or suburban location
Pqking Standards.
Parking standards are based on the present situat~on ana may require modification when the pattern of the modes of travel
changes. Now 8% of the total number of employees come by
car, 2% by motor cycles and scooters, 60% by cycles and remain- ing 30% by public vehicles. Space for parking*, is based on this break up, which means that a building with a carpet area of 1,00,000 sq. ft. accommodating 2,000 persons at 50 sq.
ft./
*Semi-basement will be allowed for parking, servicing and storage and 10% of the plot may be allotted for covered parking. Under Zoning Regu-
lations F.A.R., coverage, parking, set-back etc. are fully given.

will
require 1.25 acres of parking space to hold 160 cars, 40 -motor cycles and 1,560 bicycles. Thus the ratio of carpet area to parking area works out to 100 : 54.Land Allocation.

Central Secretariat Complex will ultimately have about 200
acres under Government Offices. After meeting the require- ments of an office building for the Ministry of External Affairs, the remaining area in Block 32, south of South Block, should cater for the loading and unloading of passengers and, parking of vehicles.
Very little area is now available for new Government offices on Parliament Street.
Indraprastha Estate too has been built up almost to its maximum capacity.
Land has been allocated for
a
Cinvit bench of the HighCourt near the Supreme Court which is already functioning
near Hardinge Bridge.
The office of the New DeIhi Municipal Committee will continue at its present site on Parliament Street, where addi- tional area has been earmarked to provide land for its expauding
activities.
The headquarten of the Municipal Corporation will be
housed in a 15 acre site forming the new Civic Centre. This is opposite the Ram Lila Grounds on Circular Road and Minto Road. The zonal offices of the Corporation will
'be
in theDistrict Centres.
A large number of Government offices located in barracks, chiefly on Shahjahan Road, have to be relocated in the new sites listed above, which will also have new offices. The areas
where they stand at present have to be redeveloped for housing since they are basically good residential areas. These measures will bring more employees to live nearer the Central Secretariat and take other Government offices near the place of residence of the employees.
The Union Public Service Commission office will continue on Shahjahan Road and some more land has been earmarked for its expansion as shown in plan.
Old Secretariat site must be redeveloped to its optimum Transit office accommodation will be provided by Govern-
capacity. ~t present it has single storeyed
oace
accommo- ment in an area of about 50 acres within the 1,100 acres schemedation. south of Ring Road in order to replace temporary barrack office accommodation by permanent office buildings.
It is proposed to expand the Delhi Administration Offices
in Civil Lines to a total of 10 acres. The New Courts at Tis Foreign Missions are located in Chanakyapuri. Some State Hazari are almost fully developed. Governments bave their offices and guest houses in this area.
4. COMMERCIAL
AREAS
General Business and Commercial*.
Chandni Chowk-Khari BaoliQadar Bazar will continue
to be the Central Business District of Delhi. General business and commercial activity will, in fact extend to the whole Complex which includes, ~ a i - Sarak, Chawri Bazar, Kashmeri Gate, Faiz Bazar and Asaf Ali Road. Some of these areas will undergo gradual redevelopment in order to be able to retain their present supreme position in the commercial activity of the Delhi Metre politan Area. This redevelopment, which will also involve at least temporary displacement of many families living in these areas, should form part of the overall redevelopment proposals of the Old City. The precise location of commercial areas in
the Old City will
be
shown when detailed redevelopinent plans are made.Connaught Place is the other Central Business District of the Capital. Commercial development has taken place along Parlia- ment Street in recent years. It has been found that . the commercial area available is not su£6cient to meet the growing need for central location of offices and retail trade. Hence, it is recommended to extend the commercial area upto Keeling Road and the proposed overbridge over the railway. No piecemeal commercial development should be allowed in this area but it should be part of an oveiall detailed plan, to ensure adequate traffic circulation, parking requirements, water, drainage, power and other facilities.
tion of Kamla Market (it is also poorly planned), it is suggest- ed that the commercial establishments be shifted to the proposed commercial area on Minto Road and the site should ultimately be converted into a recreational area. The Ram Lila Grounds will then stretch froin Dellli Gate to Ajmere Gate and will be a major lung for the Old City.
A Sub-central Business District is already functioning alang Ajmal Khan Road and Gbaffar Market in Karol Bagii. It is proposed to extend this commercial area to have altogether 42 acres, as shown in the Plan. East of Ajmal Khan Road the existing retail trade will be retained.
Another Sub-central Business District that needs developicg is in Shahdara which in 1981 will have more than 7,00,000 population. Hence it is recommended that a 157 acre site south of Old Shahdara town be provided. This should have a separate wholesale area, transport terminals and other facilities which should be carefully worked out in a detailed plan.
District Centres.
In order to decentralize commercial activity, it is proposed
to develop 15 District Centres in the outlying Planning Divisions. These will provide within easy travelling distance all the facilities for every 1.5 to 2.5 lakhs of population. They are composite centres and will have retail shopping, general business, commercial and professional offices, forwarding and booking and local Government offices, cinemas, restaurants and other places of entertainment. They will have work-cum-industrial centres Commercial land is also reserved on Minto Road and Ranjit (flatted) with small scale and light manufacturing, repair shops
